In a world where diet culture reigns supreme, Jacquelyn Hackett, founder and lead dietitian of Hackett Health, is pioneering a movement toward holistic wellness. With the launch of the Anti-Diet Hack Program, Hackett is empowering individuals to break free from restrictive dieting and cultivate a healthier relationship with food.
Hackett’s journey into nutrition began not as a professional pursuit but as a personal necessity. As a former athlete who faced her own struggles with digestive issues, disordered eating, and body image challenges during college, Hackett became acutely aware of the limitations of traditional medical approaches.
“When Western medicine did not have answers and could not help me, I became frustrated but also knew there had to be a better way,” she recalls.
This realization spurred her to pursue a career as a Registered Dietitian, and she ultimately earned a master’s degree in Nutritional Science from Cal State Los Angeles.
The Anti-Diet Hack Program represents Hackett’s commitment to dismantling diet culture and promoting intuitive eating. It encourages individuals to listen to their bodies rather than adhere to rigid diet plans.
“True health is not achieved through restrictive dieting but through mindful, balanced nutrition that enhances both physical and mental well-being,” she asserts.
This approach resonates particularly with high-achieving individuals—many of whom are women navigating life transitions—who often feel pressured by societal standards of beauty and wellness.
Hackett Health is not just a solo venture; it has blossomed into a thriving practice with a team of expert Registered Dietitians and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselors. “We currently have clients throughout the United States, Spain, Germany, and the U.K.,” Hackett shares. This expansion allows Hackett Health to offer personalized care and virtual telehealth consultations, making it accessible to a broader audience.
One key aspect of Hackett Health’s mission is the upcoming launch of a group coaching program centered around intuitive eating. This structured and supportive initiative aims to help participants heal their relationships with food and foster sustainable habits.
“The group coaching program aims to foster community and accountability, which may help participants make meaningful progress toward their health goals,” Hackett explains.
The program emphasizes that health should not be tied to weight but rather focused on nourishment, self-care, and personal fulfillment.
In her practice, Hackett employs the Hackett Holistic Habits Method, which integrates nutrition, movement, and mindset. This method is designed to help clients unlearn harmful behaviors ingrained in diet culture, allowing them to embrace a more positive and empowered view of their health.
“I believe living a healthy lifestyle begins from within,” she says. “We should respect our bodies and move in a way that feels good, whether it’s yoga, weightlifting, sports, or dancing.”
Hackett’s stance on nutrition reflects a broader shift in the wellness industry, where the demand for mental health awareness and holistic approaches is growing.
“There’s a significant shift toward body positivity and health at every size (HAES), supporting an approach to wellness that focuses on individual health rather than weight alone,” she notes.
This perspective is vital in a landscape where the diet industry is a staggering $72 billion behemoth, often promoting unhealthy standards and practices.
The success stories emerging from Hackett Health further underscore the effectiveness of this holistic approach. Clients report transformative results, reclaiming not just their health but also their lives.
As Hackett continues to grow her practice, she emphasizes the importance of continuous education and personal development.
“I have been cultivating my craft over the last seven years and am continuously growing and learning,” she states. Her commitment to professional growth allows her to stay at the forefront of nutrition science and wellness trends, which benefits her clients immensely.
Beyond her professional achievements, Hackett also values her personal life. She lives in Venice, California, with her fiancé and dog. She enjoys exploring different cultures and music while pursuing her passion for cooking and nutrition. Her diverse interests inform her practice, enriching her interactions with clients and helping them feel supported on their wellness journeys.
In a time when so many individuals feel overwhelmed by the pressures of diet culture, Hackett Health stands out by fostering a compassionate, individualized approach to nutrition and wellness; Jacquelyn Hackett is transforming lives and redefining what it means to be healthy in today’s society.
Hackett is poised to promote a more balanced, joyful relationship with food and self-care through programs like the Anti-Diet Hack and the upcoming group coaching initiative.
For those seeking to break free from the confines of diet culture and embrace a healthier, more fulfilling lifestyle, Hackett Health offers a path forward—one that prioritizes empowerment, community, and, most importantly, each individual’s unique needs.
